Hispack Barcelona (Hispack) is one of the top four renowned packaging exhibitions in Europe. Established in 2009, it has ranked among the top three comprehensive trade fairs for machinery technology and the food industry in Europe. The latest edition of Hispack has been a success, as reflected in its figures. The event attracts the foundation of packaging transformation and represents all agents across the value chain.

Hispack Barcelona welcomed approximately 100 new exhibitors from sectors such as packaging materials, packaging products, and automation. Besides Spain, Turkey, Italy, Germany, France, and Portugal have been the countries with the highest number of exhibitors to date.

Jordi Bernabéu, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, stated: "We have very high expectations for next year's exhibition. In the first half of the year, Hispack will be the only packaging trade fair in Europe, offering companies a prime opportunity to showcase innovative packaging solutions and attract large-scale investments."

To achieve these targets, the organizers are connecting with and inviting packaging brands and SMEs from all Spanish regions, as well as international professionals with specific purchasing projects, to visit and explore the latest packaging solutions from exhibitors. Consequently, domestic attendance in Spain is expected to grow by 10%, and international attendance by 12% for next year's event.

Additionally, the Barcelona Packaging Exhibition has signed cooperation agreements with various associations related to food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmacies, chemicals, automotive, construction, and retail to invite them to participate in on-site events. In terms of internationalization, Hispack is once again partnering with AMEC to run an international buyer invitation program, focusing on four key export markets of interest to Spanish packaging companies: Morocco, Tunisia, Poland, and Mexico. Furthermore, a "Why Spanish Solutions" campaign will be launched in these countries to promote the competitive advantages of Spanish packaging machinery, with Hispack serving as its premier showcase.

As a novel initiative, Hispack will regard Asia as a significant market opportunity, activating industrial cooperation channels between supply and demand companies in both regions. Meanwhile, the visiting experience for international professionals will be significantly enhanced, as the exhibition aims to tailor specific content agendas for them. In this regard, all international visitors can utilize the "International Business Center" located in Hall 3, where they can access information and advice to make their visit more productive.
